Thank you Kim!

A dear lady said to me "Kim, it will get *different* with time.....it won't be as RAW one day, but
sweetie the pain will be there forever".

Days End In The coolness of the evening...When
the sun is going down,The shadows of the stately trees...Are long upon the ground.A gentle breeze comes blowing.Blue
skies begin to gray,Sunset's rays are glowingAll mark the end of day.The birds have ceased their singing,And
seek their nightly place,The stars begin appearing...And fill the darkening space.The toils of this day are over.Now
is the time for rest...With comfort in the knowledgeThat I have done my best.The dawn will come tomorrow,And
bring a brighter day,And all the disappointmentsShould surely pass away.The noon-day sun, high in the sky...Will
warm my heart and soul,And be a source of strength...To help me reach my goal.When the day is finished...And
the sun sets in the west,I can say within my heart..."Today, I did my best!"

In Loving Memory of All Our Angels

Silence

Someone once said, silence is golden

They have never experienced the loss of a child

Silence to a grieving parent is not golden

It's become an enemy to us who grieve

We call out for just one sound from our child

The silence only deepens our grief

We plea and bargain to hear our child just once more

Just to hear a hi mom or hey dad

We ask for nothing more

Silence steals what we most want to hear

Any sound made by our child's voice

Letting us know they are near

Yes silence may be golden to some

To a grieving parent it is not

Only because we miss our loved one

" Each day passing does not take me farther from my child: Each daypassing only brings me one day closer to my child"....Doyle Alldredge

In
my Fathers house are many mansions; if it were not so I would have told you.I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and
prepare a place for you I will come again, and receive you unto myself, that where I am you may be also."-John 14:2-3

There is nothing to compareto the miracle of birthFew words to sharethat
will equal it's worth.

In the twinkle of an eyea new life is formed.And for a lifetimea mother's
heart is warmed.
